[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half those classes are made up of people who applied ED or SCEA. So it's really not as impressive as schools that have high yields without any binding admissions.[/quote]

A 61% yield puts Dartmouth as one of the highest, if not second highest, for yields among schools that offers ED. The highest is usually U'Penn. Also, Dartmouth only filled ~43% of its class with ED, compared to 50%+ at most other peers.

An 84% yield without any binding process will probably be the highest in the nation.

They are impressive yields, for sure. Not sure what examples you have which do better? Stanford's yield is comparable to Harvard and its early process is restrictive. MIT's yield is quite impressive but not as high as Harvard's. U'Chicago has gamed its yield with no less than 3 early processes. [/quote]

I guess I was saying that I was not impressed, but I wasn't comparing them to any particular schools. Then when I was looking online, I found out that University of Nebraska has over a 60% yield. Obviously it's a less impressive school by DCUM standards, but I'm personally more impressed by it's yield. I would compare RD yield at ED/SCEA schools to other schools overall yields. This would put Dartmouth at 40-something percent, which while good, is not in a league of it's own.[/quote]
